[OpenIndiana-discuss] HDD Upgrade problem

2012-06-10 Thread michelle
Hi Folks, I'm not having much luck and if someone can help with solid suggestions before I start poking around, it could save me stuffing up the machine. Firstly, I think that the graphics is having a problem with my TV, so if someone can tell me how to stop the system from wanting to boot

I've bitten the bullet and have started an upgrade process. The troubled graphics card has been removed and I'm currently using the on-board graphics which, as OI starts, is fine up until launching GNOME and then no display, but I can ssh in to the box. My efforts on Google are so far coming

OK - so far... System RAM passes Memtest86 v4.20 That leaves me with two problems... 1) Disable Gnome from starting, or remove it completely. 2) How to get around the sector alignment problem. I have a very ugly feeling that the only way is going to be to destroy the set and start again, as

Hi Jim, Thanks for the gdm, I just couldn't work out what the service name was. I've disabled that. I did try yanking the drive, with kindness, of course, but still got the same error message; zfs is obviously smarter than me At the moment, I'm backing up the drives so I had to revert the

BTW, can you give some more detail on the machine and its HDD controllers? There were recently discussions on zfs-discuss list about Dell-branded HBAs with Dell firmware bent on power saving, which sent the WD disks in particular to slep mode right away instead of having them work. There were

Thanks for the info Jim, The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-H55M-UD2H and has five SATA sockets, two IDE and one E-sata. The SATA are, I believe, Intel. I think I've got an i5 in it, with 4gig of RAM. I don't use compression or encryption. There are two Intel SSDs in a ZFS mirror and I

The system seems to have hung again, any query to the ZFS system hangs the session. Nothing in /var/adm/messages. I'm wondering whether the combination of having a mirrored zfs set with one drive on e-sata and one drive on USB could be upsetting it. On 10/06/12 14:53, michelle wrote:

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Mouse lost by power management

2012-06-10 Thread Udo Grabowski (IMK)
Hello, oi-151a4 (=prestable3, and probably a3 also) disconnect the USB / mouse when power management is on (and screensaver goes to standby or suspend). This shouldn't happen, as the mouse can only be reactivated by replugging (and only if the hotplug daemon runs). I can circumvent this problem
